Perkins 72 kVA Diesel Generator

Perkins 72 kVA Diesel Generator (NDX-PER-72)

Deciding where a generator goes usually starts with its footprint. The Perkins 72 kVA diesel generator measures 2400 x 1000 x 1500 mm in canopied form, while the open-frame version has a 2100 x 1000 mm base. With both figures on the drawing, the choice between a plant room, a rooftop platform and an outdoor slab can be settled at the design stage, access clearance included. The set is rated at 72 kVA / 57.6 kW standby and 65 kVA / 52 kW prime.

Engine

Power comes from the Perkins 1104A-44TG1. It is an inline four-cylinder unit of 4.4 litres, with a bore and stroke of 105 x 127 mm and a compression ratio of 17.25:1. Aspiration is turbocharged. Fuel consumption is stated as 14.8 L/h at 100% load and 11.2 L/h at 75% load, which feeds straight into tank sizing and refuelling intervals for the expected daily run time.

Alternator and Electrical Data

The alternator output is 400/230 V at 50 Hz in a three-phase configuration. Ratings assume a power factor of 0.8, giving 104 A in standby operation and 94 A in continuous operation. Winding insulation is class H and the enclosure protection rating is IP23. These figures are the starting point for switchgear selection and cable sizing.
